\ Patriotic Proposition.

some time ago, that a sum equal TO the
difference between the principal of the
debt as set down i'm the Riddlebcrgcr set
tlemcnt and principal sufficient To fur
nish an annual interest equal to that de
mandcd by the representatives of the

has pledged 81 POO We have head of an
other gentleman who will give s. 600, an
other 81 600, and another $500, and we
know Of another who will give 81 900
more Would that there were more
who would do likewise, Are there not
more Four thousand men giving a
thousand dollars Zach could pay the diff
ference sought for Very practical
men may shake their heads discourag-
ingly at such proposition, which seems
only chimerical But The State refuses
20 throw cold water ON a scheme that,
whether it Doc carried out or not, has been
conceived i'm spirit of the loftiest patri-
otism. There is too shamefully little self
sacrifice in politics for examples of it 10
be lightly treated when they are found.
Whether Or Smiths 'sproposition receives
or does not receive the response it de-
serves, it teaches, together with the SINH

have referred, that there are still men
who can measure their patriotism in

We can testify to the truth of what the

The Battle of Gettysburg.

Last winter the Legislature appropriated
twelve thousand five hundred dollars for the
erection of monuments to mark the posi-
tons OF Maine regiments on the battlefield
OF Gettysburg. The Governor and COM
mission Of veteran officers have visited the
field and selected the sites for these monu-
ments. They met veterans from Wisconsin
and Confederate officers who charged with
Pickett, and with them reviewed the events
Of the three days. So many representative
Maine soldiers, with such exceptional facili-
ties for an intelligent review of the battle
have never been gathered there since
1868; probably never again will there be
such gathering The work that the COM
mission did is of great present interest as
well as of great historical importance. To-
morrow the PRESS will issue supplement
which will contain very interesting ac-
count Of the work of the commission, writ
ten by a correspondent who accompanied
the party. Tho positions OF the Maine
troops. and the locations selected for the
monuments, will be illustrated; and accom-
panying this illustration will be stories of
the parts performed by various Maine regi-
ments. Several of these accounts have been
written by the colonels who commanded the
regiments, or by other officers; the others have
been compiled from records made by soldiers
at the time of the battle or since, land from the
testimony of eyewitnesses.

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entailed more suffering or
hastened the breaking up of the constitution than
Catarrh. The sense of SMELL of taste, of sight, Of
hearing the human voice, the mind ormore,
and sometimes all, yield to its destructive infu-
ence. The poison it distributes throughout the
system attacks every vital force, and breaks up
the most robust of constitutions. Ignored, be-
cause but little understood, by most physicians,
impotently assailed by quacks and charlatans,
those, suffering from it have little hope to be re-
eved of it this side of the grave. Its time, then
that the popular treatment of this terrible disease
by remedies within the reach of all passed into
hands at once competent and trustworthy. The
new and hitherto untried method adopted by DIR.
Sanford in the preparation of his RADICAL CURE
has won the hearty approval of thousands. 1t is
instantaneous IN afording relief in all head colds,
sneezing, snuffiing and obstructed breathing, and
rapidly removes the most oppressive symptoms,
clearing the head, sweetening the breath, restor-
ing the senses of smell, taste and hearing, and
neutraliZing the constitutional tendency of the
disease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys.
SANFoRDs RADICAL CURE consists OF one bot
